So in Second Life there is a big event for Realy for Life , Fantasy Faire and I'm checking out the event listings and who is the guest of honor for the LitFest? Fran Wilde! Worlds collide... but in a cool way.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Very cool!

I just signed up for a Virtual Literary Festival (MYVLF) [link] - They're doing a book weekend in May with discussion panels; Neil Gaiman is going to talk about Ray Bradbury. Eeeeee!

Caught up on Murderbot Diaries and oh my I really enjoy that so much. Going to listen to them all one after the other while I do yard work.
Meanwhile I *thought* I would read a novella real quick but it turns out The Priory of the Orange Tree is 800 pages long so I don't know where I got the idea it was short. It's got a fictional religion and dragons and a plague, though, so it's working for me. I'll just have to switch between the universes as needed.

I read Murderbot the other day. So good. I will have to go back and reread the whole series soon.
Right now I'm in comfort-reading mode, and I'm rereading all of Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels.

The new murderbot is next on my list! I'm so excited.
Yeah, "Priory" is ... not a light read.
I loved Rihannsu as a young teenager, I should go back to them again!

I quite liked Priory of the Orange Tree. I knew I could finish it but waited for paperback due to weight. I'd recommend it for having strong female characters and presenting two tender, unexpected gay love stories.

E-book, which is why I apparently had no idea how long it was when I started it. I just finished Part I, so a lot still to go and I still have very little idea what is actually going on - I mean, I'm following the plot, I think, but there are a lot of secrets and mysteries

The status is NOT quo.
I also just read and loved the latest murderbot! I liked Priory, but I didn't love it for some reason.
